Empire State

I popped into Tate Modern for the first time in ages. Particularly loved seeing Joel Meyerowitz’s Empire State. The thinking behind the series:

In my first year working with the large-format camera I saw how it was too slow for street work. I thought if I had a subject against which I could pit street life, perhaps I could develop a strategy for working in the city. My goal was to have the Empire State Building ever-present, presiding over the scene like a Mount Fuji, while I would watch for the signs of daily life that would make a new kind of photographic sense when seen all together.

Tempted to try something similar in old York.
